The “Injustice” Department
There was a time, when the United States of America was respected for its justice system. No more! In fact, things have deteriorated so much under the current administration, the Justice Department headed by Attorney General Eric Holder is a national disgrace. Terrorists and those out to undermine our borders and trample our laws are laughing at us!
Monday’s ruling, blocking a Texas law requiring voters to show a photo ID, should be the last in a very large pile of “last straws.” A few months ago, the same Holder Injustice Department blocked a similar requirement in the state of South Carolina.
Why? Injustice says this requirement places an undue burden on minorities. How so? Read the rest of this entry »
The Takeaway from Solyndra
If we learn anything from the Solyndra debacle it’s that the government should not be in the business of making loans, period!
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is now investigating the allegations of improper dealings between the White House and the failed energy company. Taxpayers would be better served if Congress simply would vote to end all government-backed loan programs.
Fat chance! These government-backed projects represent a mother-lode of campaign contributions for both political parties. Read the rest of this entry »
That Giant Sucking Sound
President Obama will address a joint session of Congress to reveal his plan to put America back to work, but you may not be able to hear his words. They will be drowned out by a deafening roar.
No, it will not be from hysterical laughter on the GOP side of the aisle.
No, it will not be from a rush of economic activity just outside the Capitol because the savior of the planet has come up with a new idea.
No, it will not be from the throngs of union workers bowing down outside on the sidewalk in worshipful adoration.
No, it will not be the emanations from overcrowded cell towers due to the sheer volume of calls placed by investors to their brokers. Read the rest of this entry »
Kill the Messenger!
In ancient times, it was not unusual to kill a messenger who brought bad news. Many of the great prophets in the Bible suffered unspeakable treatment and even death. Tradition has it that the prophet Isaiah was sawn in half.
These dedicated men of old were desperately trying to warn their countrymen to keep them from a horrible fate but few listened, especially those who had the power to change things. Most rulers simply surrounded themselves with “yes” men. Little has changed.
King Obama, who had never run so much as a lemonade stand, has surrounded himself with tax cheats and economic “yes” men like Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, who admitted that he has “never had a real job.” The same holds true for most other members of his royal court. The notable exception is his chief of staff, Bill Daley, the token businessman — a sop to “diversity.” Read the rest of this entry »
Surprise, Surprise, Teachers’ Union Endorses Obama
The bumbling, vice president who was put in charge of:
- touting the administration’s record on transparency (his speeches are often off-limits to the press)
- ensuring that the $787-billion stimulus spending was done wisely (cost taxpayers $278,000 per job)
- holding fund raisers to help Democrat Party keep control of the House of Representatives (GOP now holds a 48-seat advantage)
- reaching a budget compromise last winter (veep got rolled, Bush tax cuts were extended)
- getting a solution to the debt ceiling crisis (don’t hold your breath)
finally won one! Read the rest of this entry »
